would anyone be able to confirm if the following are same the guys in the workshop misplaced the rear sub frame for my R33.

1. is the R33 4 door rear subframe same as the C33 Laurel one. I have access to one for a Laurel but need confirmation before I dismantle.

2. would the A31/ S13 front ball joint be the same for the RWD R33 ones

I'm just informing what the parts manual says buddy, thats all iv'e got. Matching part numbers. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how they could lose a subframe WTF.

They didn't lose it 

Happened to me with a custom tow bar years ago with my first Skyline.

Work shop took it off to do some work on the car and when a a metal collection guy came around scavenging for scrap steel they told him to take it.

I thought that r32 and r33 and s14 had very similar subframes but they can change the track a little.

R32 and S13 have same geometry.

R33 and S14 (and I guess, R34 and S15) have same geometry, which is different to the earlier ones, with better anti-squat properties.

Fitting the later ones into earlier chassis (or vice versa, if you're so demented as to want to do it) requires offset bushes to deal with the width difference.

C33/4 and all other similar cars (ie Cefiro, etc) will either be the same as R32 or R33, depending on whether they were being produced at the same time. The 2s and the 3s and the 4s don't line up.

HICAS or non-HICAS is the other big difference. I put an A31 subframe into my R32 to get rid of HICAS. It's the same thing as an R32 non-HICAS subframe.

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?

      You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though.

      Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?

      It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!

      As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
